Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaWhat's not to love?! Staff are incredible; so warm and helpful. Location is unbelievable - very close to the beach and even has it's own bar on the water with amazing views of the sunset. Options to organise a massage on the terrace with sounds of the waves crashing - amazing. The view from our room was picturesque; breathtaking and unobstructed. One of our favourite stays.

United StatesOne employee wanted to close the bar and outdoor seating at 10:40 pm even though it was supposed to be available until 11pm. His reason was "it will make him work to long." He was opposed by another employee, but ultimately they refused to serve us drinks at 10:40pm. So, we left and went to a different bar/restaurant.
Breakfast very good in a great setting. Great location.

IrelandScraping the barrel here but the flow of the rain shower was slightly on the weak side at certain times in the evening.
My wife and I spent a wonderful week at Taliammari. From the moment we arrived we knew this was a special place. On entering the front entrance the spectacular backdrop of the sea was less than 20m. The view was mesmerising with the rocks, crags, waves and hues in constant motion and entwinement. This is where we enjoyed a varied breakfast each and every morning that was more than satisfying with savoury and sweet treats, your choice eggs, orange juice, coffee etc. Our room was a junior suite on the top floor (3rd and lift access) with side sea view and a more than spacious and private terrace. The facilities were ample for our needs including small but comfortable reception area, bedroom with very comfortable bed, bathroom and most importantly A/C situated in the bedroom but with doors open cooled the entire space. Down below was the beautiful and vibrant Sicilian street with many contemporary restaurants and shops to suit every need. Indeed, we rarely left this area such was everything we required. Literally outside our door was the large roof terrace with sun loungers and plenty of seating. The full on sea view was amazing as was the sunset in the evening. We felt this was our own terrace for private use every day as we rarely saw any other guest which really suited us as we are not full on beach goers. In the evening the hotel has an outdoor veranda with different levels that protruded over the rocks and lapping waves just feet below. This surely was the place to retreat of an evening to watch the sunset with a glass of your fancy. Truly breathtaking. A final word must go to the staff. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we were made to feel very special. We cannot thank them enough for the wonderful week we spent at the Taliammari. A very beautiful boutique hotel with high standards, exceptional service and central to absolutely everything Cefalù has to offer. When returning, this is where we will stay for sure.

NorwayThis was by far the most beautiful hotel we stayed at – not just in Cefalù, but anywhere we’ve been. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such genuine warmth and kindness by the staff that it didn’t feel like checking into a hotel – it felt like coming home! The view? Absolutely breathtaking by the sea. The bar was also a perfect little gem, ideal for enjoying a glass of wine or an aperitivo while watching the sun goes down🧡 Everything about the place was thoughtful, elegant, and simply beautiful. It was peaceful, perfectly located, and full of soul. This wasn’t just a stay – it was an experience we’ll always remember. Truly the most incredible hotel, and the kind of place you start dreaming about returning to the moment you leave!

United StatesThis hotel in Cefalu was really nice. The rooms were modern and super clean. Our bathroom was particularly large. The cleaning staff were amazing! My family members and I enjoyed the terrace breakfast. (I could have sat there all day looking at the peaceful calm water.) The hotel had a cute deck area for relaxing and for beverages. Staff in general were so nice and accommodating. Best location for all the town has to offer; shops, restaurants and beaches.
